The rainbow flake wouldn't be my first choice but because it's different I like it

It wasn't my first choice either actually. I was going to do a candy purple on top, black on bottom, with silver pinstrip seperating them. But I always wanted to try the rainbow flake on a black car. So far I've got A LOT of attention. Lol

Actually the attention has been all good. But to each there own I suppose. And the flake isn't going anywhere.

It's different........I like it. I say wetsand and clear coat your tails. Also, may I suggest black painted headlight bezels to complete that look?

I like it just for the fact that its different.
But you need a sticker to match the rainbow.

Yea, the bad thing is I would have painted my bezels black too, but one of my lights must not have been OEM or something. The damn thing was full of silicone, and I mean full, so I couldn't get it apart. Took a flat blade and hammer and busted the reflector in tiny pieces to get it out. The other light came apart just like the how-to says it would.

I like the concept but wish you would have chosen to do a gunmetal or gloss black metallic flake instead of rainbow flakes

Yea, I'm almost wishing that the flake was only blue/purple instead of the red and orange in there too.

I know the feeling...
It's very possible that it'll grow on you and you'll find reasons to love it, but even if you don't, it's paint and it can be changed later on if you like. Don't let the internet sway your opinions too much.

I actually really do like the flakes, its something super different. i have never seen something like that and i have never even thought of something like that. and imo the last thing it looks is bad. i think its super bad ass.
